Single Covalent Bonds
How can we show covalent bonds with electron dot structures?

9. 8.2
Single Covalent Bonds
Two atoms held together by sharing a pair of electrons are joined by a single covalent bond.

10. 8.2
Single Covalent Bonds
An electron dot structure such as H:H represents the shared pair of electrons of the covalent bond by two dots.
A structural formula represents the covalent bonds by dashes (H-H) and shows the arrangement of covalently bonded atoms.

11. 8.2
Single Covalent Bonds
The halogens form single covalent bonds in their diatomic molecules. Fluorine is one example.

12. 8.2
Single Covalent Bonds
A pair of valence electrons that is not shared between atoms is called an unshared pair or Lone Pair.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds
A polyatomic ion, such as NH4+, is a tightly bound group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit.
Most plants need nitrogen that is already combined in a compound to grow.
The polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4), present in ammonium sulfate, is an important component of fertilizer for field crops, home gardens, and potted plants.

Bond Dissociation Energies
The energy required to break the bond between two covalently bonded atoms is known as the bond dissociation energy.
A large bond dissociation energy corresponds to a strong covalent bond.
